ON THE PINE: Identifies fantasy football players who you should likely avoid unless there is no one else on your roster or on the waiver wire that can help your team win.
NOTE: This list is inclusive of all Week 2 games. To read our narrative with analysis on each game’s match-up, see our preview of the Bears versus Packers game and our review of the Sunday & Monday games, to be posted throughout the week. As information heading into each game may change circumstances, remember to check back for updates to this and other Quick Hit lists. Also, since kickers’ weekly performances are difficult to predict, kickers will not be categorized but defenses (DST) will. As to kickers, just get a good one on a team that will give the kicker an opportunity to score points.
